You probably heard that Tom Hanks' wife, actress Rita Wilson, was one of the opening acts for Sugarland’s emotional do-over show in Indianapolis Friday night (Oct. 29). Rita is releasing her first album soon, a collection of classic pop and folk-rock hits, and she wanted to try 'em out in front of a big crowd.

Soooo . . . any chance that her Hollywood superstar hubby would actually show up at the Indy arena to watch? Yessir! The Oscar winner was in the house, and Tom Hanks didn't just stay on the side of the stage either.

Tom—with various recording equipment—jumped into the fan club's SugarPit in front of the stage.
